Cucina! Cucina!

I LOVE this restaurant! I worked there for a short time and it was very clean and sanitary and the food is excellent.

When Mexican restaurants seat you, they automatically serve chips and salsa. Cucina! Cucina! serves warm flatbread and roasted garlic for spreading. It is heavenly. So you’re already all warm and melty and ready for the rest of the meal. I suggest a Red Hook ESB on draft since Red Hook Brewery is very local and delicious!

For your main course, skip the Signature Entrees and go for the pasta. I especially like the Lobster Ravioli. They are handmade and very tasty. Or maybe the Chicken Linguine with Goat Cheese. But all the pastas are pretty good.

The Salads are equally wonderful but my favorite is the Shrimp and Avacado Salad. And, whatever you do, don’t skip the dessert. Or skip the rest and go ONLY for the dessert. They are rich and large and certainly enough for a meal. I can’t get enough of the Tiramisu Pick Me Up but the Gelato Ice Cream Pie, the Cheesecakes and the Apple Pie are also worth the visit.
